Photos of My Roommate Sleeping (Dot Com!) Tip of the Day
Yes, it is childish to take advantage of a sleeping roommate by drizzling condiments, writing in sharpie, or in this case, decking one out in cotton balls while they are relatively unclothed. It is also incredibly funny. Other inappropriate yet satisfying schemes include:
✓ Dressing your roommate up in drag while sleeping.
✓ Makeover time! Put some lipstick, eye shadow and blush on the fellas, a mustache and unibrow on the ladies.
✓ Next time you trim your hair, save the clippings. Spread them around your roommate’s head while they are sleeping, then when they wake up say, “Oh man, looks like you’re goin’ bald …”
✓ Change all the clocks and alarms for some ungodly hour, then let your roommate get ready for work 4 to 6 hours early.
✓ Take all the furniture and personal items out of their room and write a note that says something like, “You got robbed. Sincerely, The Hamburgler.” They’ll be worried at first, but then they’ll realize it was a joke.
✓ And for the deep sleeper, carry them to another room, house, or even public space and when they wake, act like everything is completely normal. This works best if they sleep in the nude.

A little anthropology lesson for you: People all around the world have roommates who sleep, just like us in the good ‘ol USofA. People in China, India, Europe, and Africa sleep. People in Latin America, Australia, and even Antarctica sleep, sometimes when they’re on expeditions looking for penguins and melting ice caps. Although it looks like this sleeper is from Photos of My Roommate Sleeping (dom com!)’s homeland, we want to make it clear that we don’t discriminate. We’ll post photos from anywhere your roommate sleeps, even if it’s in the Middle East!
HOW TO SPOT A HIPSTER-ROOMMATE SLEEPING: Take the quiz!
1. Does your roommate have a beard?
2. Is their head on a popular ’80s color or patterned pillow?
3. Could any of the clothing they are wearing be purchased at American Apparel or Urban Outfitters?
4. Are they in proximity to plaid?
5. Are their eyes closed? (First, make sure they aren’t nodding their head while listening to an Arcade Fire ballad.)
If you answered yes to at least 3 of these questions, your roommate is indeed a hipster, and sleeping. Take a photo.

Since your roommates could fall asleep pretty much anywhere, you’ll have to make sure you stay alert. If you know that you’ll be traveling in a bus, car, train or airplane, keep your camera charged. It is in these locales that even the most caffeinated of your company will become drowsy. Although Photos of My Roommate Sleeping (dot com!) doesn’t condone the use of drugs, it is helpful if you slip a little NyQuil into their juice box or maybe mixed in with their Lucky Charms, just to make sure you aren’t the one to fall asleep first.

This gem is of a vintage Tuan and our friend Ashish. As you can tell, there’s evidence of the standard Asian chair sleep: crossed arms, used to protect the pecs.
Maurie apparently captured this gem of Eva on a bus after a night in Amsterdam. I think we all know what she was sleeping off …
It’s been a monumental day over here at Photos of My Roommate Sleeping (dot com!), which I truly hope never gets an acronym even though it desperately needs one.
Today we received our first external submission. A fan of the blog was caught sleeping, and knowing that this may be his first and last 15 minutes of fame, his buddies sent it over to us.
Yes, I would say we’re in the business of making dreams come true. You’re welcome dude.
Katie, couch sleeping. That’s what you get for crashing at our pad.
